Francis James Green (born April 23, 1980 in Derby, England) is a professional footballer who plays for Macclesfield Town. He is 5'09" and weighs 11 stone.

Francis Green began his career at Ilkeston Town under the management of Keith Alexander, before going to Peterborough United. He made over 100 appearances for the Posh and scored a total of 14 goals, before linking up with his former Ilkeston boss Keith Alexander at Lincoln City in 2003. He left Lincoln in 2006 to join Boston United, after a loan spell in Spring 2007, at Boston the club suffered a double religation in 2007 from League Two to the Conference North. Green then left York Street in June 2007 to join Macclesfield Town on a two-year contract.[1]

Green likes to play as a striker and has a lot of pace, which he can display best in the role of a right-sided attacking midfielder, however, can be equally as good on the left-side too. One part of his game that makes Green noticeable too is his temperament and sometimes argumentative attitude. This approach usually goes down well with the fans, but not always with the officials.
